1)What are the legal and ethical issues in this case?The legal issues in this case are: there is anywhere from twelve to twenty million illegal immigrants residing in the United States illegally. As far as the ethical issues in this case, well there are so many issues I wouldn’t even know where to begin. The fact that any business would intentionally make their working environment and so poor knowing that only illegal immigrants would tolerate working there without reporting it to any agency or the legal system is beyond unethical! Now that the legal system only requires employers to use the “E-Verify” system rather than making any illegal immigrant/person provide hard copies of their citizenship. Proof of legal status can now be passed off with false names that are given to employers make our government act irresponsible which causes them to not act ethical. The information that the person provides the employer may check out in the system but in reality is not legit; and is often overlooked because it can be without consequences to the businesses. Any business that would “depress” wages so low that it causes the people who legally reside in the United States to take a huge decrease in pay because illegal immigrants that “check out” or not… are willing to work for a lot less than what the company previously paid out in salary by “overlooking” the fact that they are really just paying lower wages to undocumented workers and taking jobs from legal citizens is unethical and just bad business in respect to our US economy. In 1986 by the law allowing the proposed immigrants legal status in our country while promising that there would be tighter border patrol that would stop the flow of undocumented workers when in turn the illegal immigrant population rose from three million to twelve (or up to twenty) million is entirely unethical especially on our country’s law enforcement and laws as a whole. The federal government has acted unethical by not taking action to stem the tide of illegal immigrants that has caused for the “business world” to respond just as unethical by creating a somewhat “legal” black market of undocumented workers. It is very unethical to provide welfare; cheap healthcare, education, and other community agency services to people that do not have a legal status within the country to begin with. The government not taking action in deporting any illegal immigrants in the system and allowing them to live in the United States but just not keep their employment. Although even if there status was proven bogus by a business they are not even mandated to report to it the law. That would result in legal recourse, which is the most crucial part in why this is only a growing problem and should be looked at as an unethical practice. Our very own U.S. government’s inability to take the proper action in keeping the illegal immigrants out of the country to begin with and not taking action to get the overwhelming yet increasing problem under control needs to be seen by the effect it has and is taking on our economic system and how it must be managed quickly. This is a major component in our economy that restricts us as a nation to balance it back out. 2)Is illegal immigration primarily an economic, legal, ethical, social, or political issue? Explain. Illegal immigration is primarily a legal issue but illegal immigration is still a social, ethical, and a political issue as well. I believe a legal issue can cause an economic and social issue to occur because the American social system calls for any businesses to be practicing legally. By the United States Government not enforcing undocumented workers to be deported even after they are verified or lack the proof of U.S. residency is apparent a business is still not obligated to do anything further other than not hire them. If all possible illegal immigrants were reported to the Immigration system (INS) there would be more deportations required for the legal system to enforce....
